Our girl Cypress is TWO YEARS OLD! Where did the time go?! The picture above is Cypress sitting on Great Grandma Jean’s lap (my Mom’s Mom) who Cypress’ middle name was named after… Cypress Jean. This is significant to my heart today, because she passed away yesterday. I felt like I wanted to mention this and honor her memory today on Cypress’ Birthday. I miss you Grandma. ... [ Read More ]
Etched Skyline Stemware Tutorial
I don’t know what it’s been like where you live, but the weather here in Iowa has been A.M.A.Z.I.N.G the last few days.

As a resident of a Midwestern state, I’m painfully aware that winter will return any ... [ Read More ]

Posterized Art Portrait with Stain on a Wooden Canvas
My little sister and I are 10 years apart. I endured a lot of BROTHERS before I finally got a sister, and I’ve always cherished her so much, despite our age difference.

But my little sister Anna is alllll grown up now, at the ... [ Read More ]

The twins are old enough now that they understand that money has value, and they want ... [ Read More ]

Nick and I both grew up loving ‘family game nights’, and are so excited that the twins are old enough to really understand and participate in many board games and card games! But one thing they haven’t mastered is ‘fanning’ their cards in their hands so they can easily see the hand they’ve been dealt. So we put on our problem-solving caps and made a little wooden gadget that helps them easily ... [ Read More ]
Making a Mug into a Planter… by Drilling a Drainage Hole!
At the beginning of last year, my New Year’s resolution was to acquire more plants and keep them alive. I was pretty successful, and have acquired MANY plants in the last 12 months. Nick would second that… it’s become a bit of an obsession. I love learning about different plants, how to care for them, and how to propagate them, etc! (Psst! I wrote an entire post as a Beginner's Guide to ... [ Read More ]
